I'd seen on Yelp that Tapas 24 was highly rated, and paused as I walked past. What caught my eye though was the "snack bar" next door. That menu looked intriguing... Rabbit, Cuttlefish, Oxtail. It was lunch, so we walked in and sat at the open kitchen in the back.
Oh my God.
This is the most ridiculously overqualified crew to ever run a snack bar. Manager ex Fat Duck, Executive chef ex El Bulli. They do the restaurant nirvana- long careful prep beforehand, and quick finish to serve. Like the 32 hour sous vide beef that you can cut with a spoon, or the oxtail croquettes.
We hunkered down with a jug of perfect sangria, and not one plate was a miss. Fantastic service with super friendly staff, and an eating experience as good as it ever gets.
Totally recommended.
